putrevus Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 This guy was giving fits and nobody could read his bowling on the flattest track in karachi, here in this test match can they survive for 2 full days against this guy. I just saw replays of all his wickets except Viru who was out stumped was a rash stroke, otherwise no other batsman had any clue where the heck was ball going.
Kumar Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Hopefully no! anyway murali will also be quite the threat
Chaos Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 yea he will take all 20 wickets but india will still win by innings ;)

None of those batsman is here in the test team.

putrevus Posted July 24, 2008 Author Posted July 24, 2008 take a leg stump guard and even you can bat 2 days against mendis Let us see how Sachin faces this guy,

I just saw replays of all his wickets except Viru who was out stumped was a rash stroke, otherwise no other batsman had any clue where the heck was ball going. i feel the only way to play him is to be aggressive and not let him settle down at all- also i think treating him like a medium pacer might be a good tactic but ur right its scary thinkin of what he might do, although having said that hes bowling vs the top 5 batsmen against spin in the world so ....
umpire Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Sachin's track record suggests he will not succeed against him for atleast inning or two. He wil eventualy figure him out and help his mates to figure this guy out.
satishg Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 guys this is his debut test match..so please lets all wait and see wat he has to offer before creating such a hype..he is a gud prospect but no one deserves this kinda hype..just remember Shaun Tait

King Tendulkar Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Mendis looks very average. What was all the fuss about. He aint gonna run through our stellar line up. Not another classic case of confusing limited overs cricket with the REAL deal of TEST CRICKET is it?
Parth Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 More experienced layers like Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly and Laxman will play him better than Raina, Dhoni, Yuvi
chanakya Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Mendis looks very average. What was all the fuss about. He aint gonna run through our stellar line up. Not another classic case of confusing limited overs cricket with the REAL deal of TEST CRICKET is it? He gets Dravid of all people. 17 wickets to go.
Holysmoke Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Dravid looked like a bunny in the headlights after that ball.... He was looking around wondering wtf just happenned!
putrevus Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 well my fears were right , these guys cant last one day , they cant play on seaming pitches and on flattest pitch they cant last one day, wow what a bunch of jokers.
satishg Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 well my fears were right ' date=' these guys cant last one day ,[b'] they cant play on seaming pitches and on flattest pitch they cant last one day, wow what a bunch of jokers. are the players jokers or are u the one..remember PERTH remember last year England victory..man u guys have a short memory..im not living in the past but these victories were very recent and u are telling us that our batsmen cant play on seaming pitches.."WHY SO SERIOUS" lets put a smile on ur face :D
fineleg Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 well my fears were right ' date=' these guys cant last one day , they cant play on seaming pitches and on flattest pitch they cant last one day, wow what a bunch of jokers. saying the fact as-is will bring u criticism in ICF, i guess u already know that.
diegovegaz Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 one thing is certain, if our fab 4 can't read him, no1 else in the world can!! they'll be the first to crack him
Laaloo Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 nope. I have a feeling our fab 4 will destroy him next match
